Answer:

  a_k=\left|\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\right|;\text{ is nondecreasing for $k>2$}

  \lim\limits_{k \to \infty} a_k =1

  The series does not converge

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given</u> ...

  S=\displaystyle\sum\limits_{k=2}^{\infty}{x_k}\\\\x_k=(-1)^k\cdot\dfrac{k^2-3}{k^2+4}\\\\a_k=|x_k|

<u>Find</u>

  whether S converges.

<u>Solution</u>

The (-1)^k factor has a magnitude of 1, so the magnitude of term k can be written as ...

  \boxed{a_k=1-\dfrac{7}{k^2+4}}

This is non-decreasing for k>1 (all k-values of interest)

As k gets large, the fraction tends toward zero, so we have ...

  \boxed{\lim\limits_{k\to\infty}{a_k}=1}

Terms of the sum alternate sign, approaching a difference of 1. The series does not converge.

It's 9 4/5 miles from Justin's house to the art museum the distance to the history museum is 9/10 this far
Leno4ka [110]
The history museum is less that 9 4/5 miles. 9/10 means that the 9 3/4 mile is broken up into 10 equal parts and the distance to the museum is only 9 of those parts. 9 3/4 (9.8) divided by 10 equals 98/100 (.98) 
98/100 x 9 = 882/100 or 8.82 

Justin's house is 8.82 miles from the museum.

when full the gas tank of a car holds 15 gallons. it now contains 12 gallons. what percent represents how full the tank is?
Masteriza [31]

Hello!

to find the percent of a whole, use this equation here:

(remaining) / (total) = X

X * 100 = %

in this case:

12 / 15 = 0.8

0.8 * 100 = 80

your answer is 80%

I hope this helps, and have a nice day!

(x+2)(2x+1)+(x+2)(2x-3) factorizar
koban [17]

Answer:

(x + 2)(4x - 2).

Step-by-step explanation:

(x+2)(2x+1)+(x+2)(2x-3)

Note that  (x + 2) is common to 2 parts of the expression. So we have:

(x + 2)(2x + 1 + 2x - 3)

= Ix + 2)(4x - 2)
